If you would like experiment, just get the tank in the picture from Urban for $9.99. It comes in bright yellow, plum as shown above and red. It’s so affordable, and essential. You can definitely start to play with bold color by matching this tank with skirts or shorts.

The hot pink Skirt is by UO as well for $9.99. The skirt fits true size and absolutely shows your curves. You can also pair it with an oversized blouse or sweater.

How bold are you? If you haven’t played with pastel color, maybe you should try it now.

It was abnormally cold for Texas early fall. My friends were using Nikon D90 with underwater housing, and I was using Canon PowershotD10.

It was an amazing experience. I enjoyed spending Sunday afternoon being in cold water and shooting. Since I am not scuba dive certified, I was holding my breath with a waist belt on when shooting the photos.

I’ve learned, you need to be extra cautious when you are underwater, because the moment is more spontaneous under the water. Camera recycles slower than on the land.

Our amazing model Bridget Farr shot for three photographers. Each of us (photographers) was able to take more breaks than she did. I really have a lot of respects for her. She is very ethical, and down to earth. I really hope she will go very in her career.

I feel lucky to have known both Marco and Marina. They are both driven, and have a great passion for photography as much as I do.

I hope we can keep getting together and working together. Overall, although it was cold, but it was so worth it.

SAPP is a rising photography community where Juli, Jonathan and Val organize events for talented photographers, models, makeup artists to have creative photo shoots. All they expect from you is for you to have a great time, be yourself, and live your dream as a photographer, model, or makeup artist. SAPP is a pot of opportunities for everyone. It’s a platform for creating art, building up your portfolio, networking, getting connected with those who motivate you, getting more exposure, and most importantly it’s like a family. I love how well those three work together. They are people with great energy and great passion for what they do.

Let’s get to know them.

1. What exactly is SAPP?

It’s a community where photographers, models, interesting people, makeup artists, designers can make creative and fun photo shoots for themselves.

2. Who came up with this idea? And what inspired you to make it happen?

Juli and Jonathan came up with this idea (both photographers). We are tired of making something boring for others under the pressure of making a living, so we decided to create a community where we could take creative and fun photos for ourselves.

3. How did you guys get connected? What are your roles in this group?

Juli and Val were high school classmates. Juli met Jonathan at a charity event.

Our purpose is to help Photographers, models and makeup artists build up their portfolio; to get people connected; to have fun and take creative photographs, to give local store more exposure.

5. What did it take to get this group up and running?

Passion, interests, creativity, connections and networking.

6. What problems or difficulties have you encountered while starting this group?

It was difficult to coordinate events and people, because everyone has jobs, school and social life. They need to be passionate and interested enough to show up.

The idea of bringing money to this group for makeup artist was a problem. We thought that would suck the fun out of this community, so we dropped that idea.

7. Tell me what are the benefits of joining this group? Why would photographers, makeup artists, models want to join this group?

It’s a no pressure zone. People get to create their own vision. It’s about whatever they want to do, and they don’t need to please others but make their dreams come true.

Precision Camera, alcohol Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka will be our future sponsors.

Artistic energy, different skills in different area, knowing different network of people make us work well together.
